Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

I'm getting increasingly sick of having to say "oh, ffs!" about this gov.t. How the ever-loving F do they expect to stem the Faragist tide by making people's lives palpably worse not better? Not just stupidity. Reckless stupidity.

People are led to believe that it’s #factoryfarms that are cruel. #Familyfarms are as #cruel; they just “produce less”. This family farm has 300 #dairy #calves which like a factory farm are stolen from their mothers so humans can take their milk. Pls choose #vegan over cruelty. Veganuary.com 🌱

This is your scheduled reminder that you should be reading at least three independent sources of news and current events for true objectivity. Never believe what you've read until that can be confirmed by two other independent organisations. All media can be said to hold a bias.

A teeny weeny 2% tax on Britain’s super rich would raise £24 billion. Think of all the good we could with a sum like that - and it would only ever so slightly make the tax system more fair - plenty of room for improvement after that.

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts. This is speaking truth to actual power…
